PREFACE. 



It is not intended by this publication to present a 
new Greek Grammar to the classical student ; after 
the elaborate volumes of Matthiae, Buttman, Kuhner, 
Gail, Burnouf, and other scholars of Germany and 
France, it would be altogether vain to expect any 
new discovery in that language. The most that we 
can do is to avail ourselves of their labours in order 
.0 smoothe the difficulties which are usually met in its 
study. The greatest of these we have learned from a 
long experience in teaching, is the large size of the 
grammars which are put in the student's hands when 
he commences. Excellent as these may be for the 
professor or more advanced scholar, they only tend 
to deter the beginner from approaching it. We trust 
that this will be obviated by the present compendium, 
in which we have endeavoured to comprise within as 
short a compass as possible all that is of absolute 
necessity to the learner. If it induce him to apply 
with more alacrity to study a language second to 
none in the literary beauties and treasures which it 
contains, our intentions will have been amply fulfilled.

GREEK RUDIMENTS. 

The letters are divided into Vowels and Consonants,

Of Breathings. 

The Breathing is of two kinds, smooth Q and rongh ('). 

1. Every Vowel or Diphthong at the beginning of a word 

is marked W1 th either a smooth or rough Brefthiug: '

m \£ T ID tHe middle ' the first is »>«ked with a

Of Accents. 
There are three Accents: the Grave C\ falling ™ * 

£ £mL on S the t, A r °> 0D : ^' *" K <£ 

tneCireumflex ( ), on the last, or last but one. 

dhe Grave is understood on every syllable where there is 
no accent, and is therefore called the Syllabic tone 

Ihe Apostrophe shews, that a, ., c , 0> aCj or ig ff 

a™*?/ a v r or Diphthong ^ •»* -^ 

A word, accented on the last syllable, is called 0,^«e. 
^ A word not accented on the last syllable, is cahedVy- 

Of Consonants. 

There are seventeen Consonants, which are divided into 
Semi-vowels and Mutes. 

The Semi-vowels are divided into double letters t U' 
and liquids, X, ft „, ,; e i, an independeDt ]etter S ' " " *'

A smooth Mute is changed into its corresponding Aspi- 
vrhenever the following Vowel or Diphthong is aspi- 
rated : 7tt, xt, are changed into <f0, yO : as wyO'' (for vuxra) 
(7/vjv, xl<p& (for rwrore) o'S'rw. 

r before another y, x, /, or £, is pronounced like v : as ; 
SffeXof) pronounced avyeXdq. 

The Double Letters are formed from the Mutes, by add- 
ing <7 ) thus, cj is equivalent to -<j, §ff y or cc ; and so also £, 
to *<r ; f<y, or £<r ; and C, to rcr, orr, or Oa. 

Of Punctuation. 
There are four Points or Stops : the Comma, marked 
thus (,); the Colon, at the top of the line : as ao-v-- j the 
Period or Full Stop (.); the Note of Interrogation (;). 

The Parts of Speech are Eiyht: 

Article, Noun, Adjective, Pronoun, Verb, Adverb, Con- 
junction, Preposition. 

There are three Numbers : Singular, Dual, Plural. 

There are five Cases, viz.: Nominative, Genitive, Dative, 
Accusative, Vocative. 

There arc three Genders : Masculine, Feminine, and 
Neuter. 

The Article is two-fold ; Prepositive or Demonstrative, 6,

OF NOUNS SUBSTANTIVE. 

There are six Declensions, — three of Simples, and three 
of Contracts : the first two of Simples do not increase in the 
Genitive case ; the third increases in the Genitive. 

The First Declension 
Contains Nouns of two Genders, and four terminations in 
as and ys of the Masculine, and in a and t] of the Feminine; 
the declining of Masculines and Feminines varies a little in 
the Singular, but is the same in the Dual and Plural.

The Dative Singular, in the first and second Declensions* 
has c subscribed to the final letters, a, y, oj. 

Iota is subscribed, either for distinction of Cases, as rap.ia 
in Dat, Sing., or on account of contraction : as xipat, xipa-, 
i is written under the syllable from which it has been re- 
moved. 

Nouns in tc^, rr t q, and Gentiles in Or t q, and also the com- 
pounds from ~oj)Jco, to sell, p.erpiw, to measure, and rptfco, 
to rub, form the Yoc. Sing, in a short : as S) aazpdr.a, httff- 
rdra, IxbOa. But those in' arr t q have y and a : as Ir^q, 
a robber; Yoc. Xr^r^, and l^axd. 

^ Words ending in da, Oa, pa, and a pure, make the Gen. 
Sing, in aq, and the Dat. in a: as Arjda, -as, -a; "AxavOa, 
-as, -a J "lliizpa, -paq } -a ; $OJ.a, -aq, a. 

A letter or syllable is called pure, when it follows a Yowel 
or Diphthong. 



The Second Declensi

Comprehends Nouns of two terminations in oq, oi the 
Masculine and Feminine, and in ov, of the Neuter.

perly Attic, by changing o pure into <o, and the penultimate 
a, or at, into e: as, Xaog, ieaicj avcuyatov, avcbyswv } and are 
declined in the following manner : —

Plur. N. ra '^vw-^ew, Gr. -^ewv, D. ys(pq, A. -^ew, Y. -few. 

Some Nouns, which have not the last Yowel pure, follow 
this form, except that their accusative singular terminates 
in m : as, a?,wq, Xaywq; v Ea>q, the morning, makes v Eu) in the 
Accusative: "A-oXXcuq, Ace. "AnoXXco) "Adcoq, Ace. "Adou. 

N. B. The Nom., Ace, and Yoc. of Neuter Nouns, are 
the same in the Singular Number ; and in the Plural (ex- 
cept among the Attics), they all end in a. 

The Third Declension 

Has nine terminations; three Yowels, a, i, o, of the 
Neuter, a> of the Feminine, and five Consonants, v, £, p, g }

RULES BELONGING TO THIS DECLENSION. 

T/ie J.ccwsa£iVe Singula?* 

Of the Masculine and Feminine ends in a. 

Exceptions. — 1. Nouns ending in g } after i or o, (except 
euq,) if they form the Genitive in oq pure, change q in the 
Accusative into v : as, i? o iq, oioq, oiv ; ij ypadq, ypadq, ypaov. 
But A\q, Jupiter, makes A\a ; and laaq, a stone, makes XSjcv. 

2. Barytons in tq and us, declined with oq impure, have 
the Accusative both in a and v : as, k'ptq, strife, k'pcdoq, Ace. 
fptda and iptv; y.upuq, a helmet, xopuOoq, Ace. xopoOa and 
y.dpwj. In like manner, xktiq, a hey, Ace. xXeida and xXeb , 
and the compounds from nous, a foot : as, Oldi--ouq, Ace. 
--ijoa, --oov. 

The Vocative Singular 

Is like the Nominative. 

Exceptions. — 1. Nouns ending in q, after t or u, cast away 
q in the Vocative : as, Udptq, /SoDc, Voc. //«'/>£, /9oS ; fiaciXehq, 
a king, Voc. paeiXeu, except oxy tones in ^ and u? : as, at 

i/-\z, yXaahq; also 0) rzooq, ddouq. 

Youns declined with ->zoq form the Vocative from the 
Genitive, by casting away -z<>q : as, J yipwv, yipovro^ oj yipov ; 

(1) Titan. (2) The body. 



12 GREEK RUDIMENTS. 

but those in -sis, evroq, form the Vocative in ec and ev : as, 
nXaxo-eiq, -evroq, Yoc. <b TzXaxo-et and TtXdxo-ev. 

3. Barytones in aq -avoq, tjv -svoq, wv -ovoq, -tap -opoq, &c, 
form the "Vocative from the Genitive, by casting away, oq : 
as, firjrcopj pyjropoq, <b prjrop'. except IIo<j£ida>v } -wvoq, 116- 
ffetdov, ffcorrjp, -rjpoq, awrep, which shorten the last syllable : 
as Zcuxpdrrjq, -eoq, a> Swxpareq. 

The Dative Plural 

Is formed from the Dative Singular, by omitting d, 0, 
v, r, and assuming a before t : as, riravi, rizaai ) <T(vp.aTt, 
G(bp.o.ai. 

If, after this omission, o remains, o is taken for a diph 
thong: as, Xiovrc, X(oo<n; in Nouns ending in yp, which 
suffer Syncope, ac is inserted before c : as, Ttaryp, naTp), 
Tiarpdai ; but yaffrijp, -rjpcn. 

Nouns ending in £, <P, or q, after a Diphthong, form the 
Dative Plural from the Nominative Singular, by adding t : 
as, xopaz, (1) xopa£t, ftdenXebq, fta.(nXeo<n. Except xrelc, (2) 
izi&i; nous, r.oai) oZq, (3) axrt, and a few others. 

Of Syncope. 

Syncope takes away a letter or Syllable from the middle 
of a word : as, irdpocq for iracpocq. 

Some Nouns in -qp, -epoq, are Syncopated in the Genitive 
and Dative Singular : as, izarijp, izaripoq, xarpdq ; so also 
jirjTijp and ya^r-hp : in like manner, dvr t p, (4) unless that for 
the omitted e, it assumes <5 : as, dvipoq, dvdpoq : and similarly 
apvbq, and xbw, xovbq, &c. 

The Declension of Contracts. 
Nouns are called Contracts in which two syllables are 
contracted into one. 

(1) A raven. (2) A comb. (3) The ear. (4) A man. 



GREEK RUDIMENTS. 13 

A Contraction occurs either in every Case whose final 
syllable is pure, as in the first and second Declension of 
Contracts, or in a fewer number of Cases, viz. : — in the 
Dative Singular, in the Nominative, Accusative, and Voca- 
tive Plural, as in the third Declension of Contracts. 

„ , ( followed by <r, are contracted into eT. 
1 not followed by s } into rj. 

There is no difficulty in Contract Nouns of the First and 
Second Declensions, as they are declined like the simples : 
as, fi>da } pso.) voog } voug. 

The Third Declension of Contracts. 

Nouns in -r t g are of the Masculine and Feminine Genders; 
in -£? and -og of the Neuter ; and are declined thus : — 

Sing. Fern. 

N. i) Tfjrrjp-r^, (1) the galley.

Irregular, or Heteroclite Nouns, 

Are those which vary from the common forms of de- 
clining : some vary in Gender, others in Declension; some 
are defective in Cases, others redundant; and some are 
defective in Number. 

Patronymics 

Are names of persons, derived generally from their an- 
cestors or fathers: as, 'Aiaxtdys, the grandson of JEacus ; 
AaspTiddys, the son of Laertes.

Some Adjectives are of one Termination and one Gender

Substantive of the First Declension. To this class may 
be referred, N. 6 dodpog, oo -, and N. ^ dovpig, idog t

The Cardinals from five to a hundred, inclusive, are 
indeclinable: as, nivre, five, h.o.zov, a hundred; but those 
which follow are declinable and regular : as, diaz6<noi } -at, 
a } two hundred. 

C r.pwzoq, first. 
The Ordinals are J deOrepoq, second. 
\zpizoq, third. 

All Ordinals under twenty, except deurspoq, second, 
tpdopLoq, seventh, and oydooq, eighth, end in roq- from 
thence upwards they end in oazoq : as, ehoaroq, twen- 
tieth, &c. 

The letters of the Alphabet are used to denote the 
natural numbers. 

Degrees of Comparison. 

There are three degrees of Comparison : the Positive, 
Comparative, and Superlative. 

Adjectives ending in oc, having a long Penult, form the 
Comparative by changing c into repoqj and the Superlative 
into raroq : as, trifivoq, (1) -6rspoq } -draToq. Having a 
short Penult, they change o into a>: as, ff6<poz, (2) -(ozepoq, 
idnazoq. Having a doubtful Vowel in the Penult, they 
either retain or change the o : as, Ixavoq, (3) -oztpuz, 
-ozazoz, and -OJZzpoz, -ojzazoz. 

(1) Venerable. (2) Wise. (3) Fit.

30 GREEK RUDIMENTS. 

OF VERBS. 

Verbs are either Personal, Impersonal, Transitive, or 
Intransitive. 

There are three Voices : Active, Passive, and Middle. 

The signification of the Active and Passive Voices is the 
same as in Latin or English. The. Middle Voice (which is 
so called because it has a middle signification between Ac- 
tive and Passive) implies an action reflected on the agent 
himself, and signifies what we do, first, to ourselves, secondly, 
for ourselves. 

There are eight Tenses in the Active Voice, and nine in 
the Passive : Present, Imperfect, Perfect, Pluperfect, First 
and Second Futures, First and Second Indefinites, or Aor- 
ists ; to which is added, in the Passive Voice, the Paulo- 
post Future. 

The tenses are, first, either Principal, viz., Present, Fu- 
ture, and Preterperfect, (but in the Passive Voice, Present, 
Preterperfect, and Second Indefinite;) or secondly, Cog- 
nates, which are known from the formation. 

There are five Moods : the Indicative, Imperative, Opta- 
tive, Subjunctive, and Infinitive. 

There are four Conjugations of Barytons, to which the 
others can be easily reduced. 

A Codj ligation is distinguished by the formative letter or 
characteristic : the characteristic of the Present Tense is the 
letter preceding co or o/j.ou, p.i or p.at ; the characteristic of 
the Future and Perfect is the letter before the final vowel 
of the Active Form. 

The characteristic of the Future distinguishes the Conju- 
gations of Barytons; the others, only their own and the 
Cognate Tenses. 

Note. — Verbs might be conveniently divided into two 
classes, viz., in w and in p.c; and those in w subdivided into 
uncontracted, commonly called Barytons, and contracted.

Formation or the Tenses. 

The Present is the root. 

The Imperfect is formed from the Present, by changing 
o) into ov y and prefixing the Augment : as, stutctov from 
rb~rw. 

The Augment is twofold : Syllabic and Temporal. It is 
prefixed to the Imperfect, Perfect, Pluperfect, Paulo-pcst 
Future, and to the First and Second Aorists in the Indica- 
tive Mood; in the other Moods, only to the Perfect and 
Paulo-post Future. 



GREEK RUDIMENTS. 35 

The Syllabic Augment is s prefixed to a Verb, when it 
begins with a Consonant : as, tO-toj, k'zu-rov. 

If a Verb begin with p, it is doubled after s in all the 
Tenses which increase : as, pi—cv, epfiazrov. 

The Temporal Augment is r t or w prefixed to a Verb in- 
stead of the initial Mutable Towel. 

The Mutable Vowels are a, e, o, at, au, 01 ; a and e are 
changed into r n o into w, t of the Diphthongs being sub- 
scribed : as, dtxooiOj rjzouov) ipE'.ouj, rjpeidovj dlxi£to } rr/.'."o>' y 
oi/.i'U'J, aLxtZov. 

Some Verbs beginning with e, take t after e for the Aug- 
ment : as, t/o), £>•/<>> ; k'-to, z\-ov and zl~a, which preserves 
the Augment through all the Moods. 

If a Verb begin with an Immutable Vowel, it has no 
Augment; the Immutable Vowels are ^, .', u, w, w, eu, trj : 
as, i\/.i>), i/.ny • ouTdZatj ovraZov, &c. 

*Aio, arjOiffffa), derivatives of olvoq^ as, ofroat, and a few 
others, take no Augment. Eu is sometimes changed to yj ; 
' ','j.a:, j}u%6p7}v. 

Augments of Compounds. 

Compound Verba have the Augment in the middle, if 

they begin with a Preposition, or dbs, or eu before a Mutable 

Vowel : as, xarayivdrnxtOy xaTeyivonrxov ) ducrapeoTiiu, du<ryp£<T>> 

psov] edspyeritOj *o»\ with a few exceptions: as, 

PREPOSITIONS IN COMPOSITION. 

Prepositions ending with a Vowel, except npfy nep), and 

ipc'', lose their final Vowel before another Vowel : as, 
kr.iyo*. 

Note. — 'I he « of rzpd before e, generally coalesces with it, 
And produces vu : as, Ttpovru 

The Verb dvotyui (compounded of dvd and otpo) has the

Augment sometimes at the beginning, as, 1st Aor. r^a } 
John ix. 26; and sometimes between the Preposition and 
the Verb (with the Attic e inserted): as ; wA^a. John 
ix. 30. 

v in composition f T before a Guttu ral: as, i rrp d<pco. 

is changed into j P ' before a Labial > or ^ : as > fofc&to. 
(^ k before another /I : as ; ffokka/i^dvco. 

and it is omitted before C : as ; ffu^rea*. 

The v is resumed, however, before the Augment : as, id 
fidkkw, bipakkov^ 

'Ex becomes t£ before a Vowel : as, £~i<pepov.

■ The penult of the First Future of the Fourth Gonj%a- 
tion ^is made short, either by omitting a second Consonant : 
as, ripyco, ts/j.w; or the second Vowel of a Diphthong: a«, 
<pmva>, <pavib) or by shortening a doubtful Vowel : as,/^ (y ' 
xpivm. 

Many Verbs in £<w, take £ in the Future and correspond- 
ing tenses : as, ffzyptih, -~w. 

Some in <j<jw } take aco : as, r.pdaau) (to seU). -pdc,^ Sec. 

When the characteristic of the Present is an Aspirate, 
and that Aspirate is afterward lost, .compensation is* made 
(when possible) by aspirating the initial of the tense where 
the loss occurs : as, e X w, l^ ; T p£ X a>, 6pi*<o, &c. This com- 
pensation is possible in two cases, viz. when the Verb begins 
with a smooth Mute, and when with an unaspirated Vowel. 



GREEK RUDIMENTS. 37 

The First Aorist 

Is formed from the First Future, by changing u> into a, 
and prefixing the Augment : as, Tuipu), erocpa. 

These five first Aorists do not assume the characteristic 
of the First Future : sOryxa, socoxa, r t xa, el-a, and ijvsyxa. 

" E0r t -/.a } edajy.a, and rjxa are formed from the Perfect In- 
dicative; el-a and ijveyxa from the Present. 

The penult of the 1st Aorist in the Fourth Conjugation, 
is always long; hence, a is changed into t) } g into et, and t 
or u lengthened: as, (pdAAa), <paAa> y s^rqka m t p.ivio } /xsvat, 
epLetva] xpivio } xpbaj, explva. 

Some drop a : as, yi(o ) ysu<raj, 1st Aorist syea in place of 
E/zucra. 

. The Perfect 

Is formed from the First Future, by prefixing the Redu- 
plication, if the Verb begin with a single simple Consonant, 
except p, and changing in the 

1st Conjugation, <pw into <pa' } 

2d £oj into /a; 

3d <ra>into*a; 

4th a> into Wfj and a> into -qxa. 

Dissyllables of the Fourth Conjugation change e of the 
Future into a : as, arsXco, tazal/.a. But £ of the Future in 
(id) is retained : as, vefiai) uevdfirjxa. 

Dissyllables in eivw, bo), u^to, omit v of the Future in the 
Preterperfect : as, xptvm } xixptxa] the Test change v into y : 
as, <pa'su>, r.lipayxa. 

Reduplication takes place in the Perfect, when the Verb 
begins with a single Bimple Consonant (except p) : as, ri- 
TU(pa-^ with a .Mute before a Liquid (except yv): as, y(ypa<pu 
from ypd<pu> ; or with /jlv : as, fivdofiat, ftipunjftMt. 

Note. — The Smooth Mute is used instead of the Aspi- 
rate, as, <ppd%uj } <ppd<ju> } izi(ppaxa ) to prevent two syllables

coming together, commencing with Aspirates. There will 
be no reduplication when a Verb begins with yv } or with two 
Consonants, not a Mute before a Liquid (except p.v) : a 
<T7zevdco j or a double Consonant : as, Caw • in which cases 
the Syllabic Augment merely is prefixed : as, eeneoxa, e'Cyxa. 

K is sometimes cast away and the penult shortened : as, 
yiyqxa, yiyaa. 

The Pluperfect 

Is formed from the Perfect, by changing a into eiv } and 
prefixing the Syllabic Augment, if there be a Reduplica- 
tion : as, rirocpa, fre~u<peiv. 

The Second Aorist 

Is sometimes the same as the Imperfect: as, eypawov; 
but when the penult of the Present is long, that penult 
must be shortened to form the 2d Aorist : as, zo-rw, ezu-ov. 

The penult is shortened in Consonants, generally by the 
omission of the latter Consonant: as, zuxzw, ezoxov; (pdXXw 7

Aorist in dov : as, <ppaC<o, <ppdaw, ecppadov. 



GREEK RUDIMENTS. 39 

The 2d Aorist affords an additional illustration of the 
Aspirate being changed into the Smooth Mute, when an- 
other Aspirate commences the following syllable : as, Od~Ta>, 
fray>ov } not aOacfus. 

Some, instead of ~, the smooth Consonant of the Theme, 
assume, first, the middle ft: as, eft/.aftvv, Expufiov; from 
pXcbcrtOj xprjzrw : secondly, the Aspirate <p : as, 7j<puv } s(3a<pov f 
from a-rw, ftfj-.TO). 

Verbs ending in a> pure, generally want the 2d Aorist and 
Future, and also the Perfect Middle. 

The Second Future 

Is formed from the 2d Aorist, by changing ov into <h cir- 
cumflexed, and omitting the Augment : as, erwrov, tu-co.

Mood of every Verb Active, and the second Person Singular

Formation of the Teni 

In all tlie Voices, is the same as that of the Barytons; 
but the First Future requires a long Vowel before aa : — 

1. Except Verbs in cuo, which have e or t, also / or p 
pure, I . form the Future in aaw, and the Perfect in 

taca: as, idu> } laaa> } elaza. 



58 * GREEK RUDIMENTS. 

Some have the Future in aau) and *qaco (poetically). 

2. Some Verbs in eco form the Future in e<rw } and the 
Perfect in exa : as, rekico. 

Some have both terminations (poetically). 
Some Dissyllables form the Future in zugco, and the Per- 
fect in eoxa : as, Oiw, izlico, &c. 

3. Some in oco have, in the Future and Preterperfect, a 
penultimate o : as, dpoco, o/ioco. 

The 2d Aorist is formed from the Imperfect, by omitting 
the Vowel before ou : as, izi/j.aov } ert/iov j icptXeov, ecptXov. 

Of Verbs in [it. 

Verbs in p.i are formed from Verbs of the 3d Conjugation 
of Barytons, in aco, eco, oco, and oco, — 

First, by prefixing the Reduplication with i. 

Second, by changing the co into fit. 

Third, by lengthening the penultimate. 

Thus, from crrdco is formed Itrtrjiu. 

Oico rcdrj/it. 

doco d[dw;j.i. 

detxuuco deUvu/M. 

The Reduplication occurs only in the Present and Im- 
perfect. 

When the first Consonant is repeated with t, it is called 
the proper Reduplication : as, doco, dcdw/n. 

If the Verb begin with a Vowel, with xt or ar, Aspirated 
i only is prefixed : as, eco, tyfii ; nrdco, i7zrr)fii } &c. This is 
called the improper Reduplication. 

Some Verbs are without a Reduplication': as, <pr t <u, &c. 

The Present, Imperfect, and 2d Aorist alone, are peculiar 
to Verbs in fir, the other Tenses are regularly formed (with 
some shades of exception) from Verbs in co pure : as, d&trat, 
didcoxa, as if from doco. 

Verbs in \u have no 2d Future, Perfect Middle, or 2d 
Aorist Passive.

The Present 

Is formed from the Present Active, by changing fit into 
fiat, and the long penultimate Vowel into its correspondent 
short one: as, ?<rny ( a{, r (arafxai' } r(07jixc } r(0srxaf } except ayrxai, 
and some others. 

The Imperfect 

Is formed from the Present, by changing fiat into pqv, and 
prefixing the Augment : as, Ti0sfj.at, htdifjLTjv.

78 GREEK RUDIMENTS. 

Of Verbs in <y/.o>. 

Verbs in gxcd resemble Verbs in fit, and, like them, are 
derived from Verbs in aw, ew, ow, and ow, by placing ax 
before w, which they preserve only in the Present and Im- 
perfect. 

The other Tenses are formed from their Primitives. 

Frjpdffxw, yspdcw, ysyvjpaxa, to grow old', from yr^pdoj 

^Apiaxw, dpiaw, yjpsza, to please ; from dpiw. 

Bogxw, j36<7(d, fiifioxa, to feed ; from flow. 

Medoaxw, psOuaw, pspJOuxa, to make drunJc; from fieObw. 

Many Verbs in axw, like Verbs in p.t, prefix a Reduplica- 
tion : as, dtdpdaxw, to run, from dpdw } Stducrxw, to dress, 
from duo) • Tzi7cpday,w, to sell, from ~pdoj. 

Verbs in axw, which have a Second Aorist, borrow it 
from the kindred Verbs in fit: as, aliaxw, Aor. 2. ijXwvy 
j3pd>(Txw, Aor. 2. efipwv, yivwaxw, Aor. 2. eyvwvj as if from 
dXwpt, fipaifLij yvdjfj.1. 

Of Impersonal Verbs. 

Impersonal Verbs have only the Third Person Singular 
of each Tense, and, in Participles, only the Neuter Gen- 
der : they have commonly the sign it, before them in Eng- 
lish : as 

Ae7, it belwovcth ; Imperf. idet: 1st Aor. idirjtrs'j 1st Fut.

SYNTAX. 



THE NOMINATIVE AND VERB. 

A Neuter Plural is generally joined to a Verb Singular : 
as, aarpa (patvevm. 

A Dual Nominative is often found with a Verb Plural : 
as, ajicpu) Myovffi; but not a Plural Nominative with a 
Dual Verb. 

THE SUBSTANTIVE AND ADJECTIVE. 

An Adjective of the Masculine Gender is sometimes 
construed with a Feminine Substantive : as, ro> yuvcuxe. 
This construction would appear intended to dignify the 
female sex : we meet in Euripides, in reference to Al- 
cestis, ol 7rpo0vrj<rxovT£s ; where she is introduced, using 
not only the Masculine Gender, but the Plural Number. 
The Masculine Article appears to be limited to the Dual 
Number. 

A Substantive is sometimes used as an Adjective: as, 
yXwcaav, EXldda kdida^s:. Thus in English, "sea water," &c. 

The Substantive is often changed into a Genitive Plural, 
preceded by a Pronoun or Article : as, ol dyaOol rcDv d>6pd>- 

7ZIOV. 

THE RELATIVE AND ARTICLE. 

The Relative often agrees with its antecedent in case by 

attraction: as, £v ralq ioprdiq, aXq ijyopLTjv. The Relative, 

in this construction, sometimes precedes the Substantive: 

as, <rbv ^ k'x£i<; duvd/iei • something like our English u with 

what force you have " 
84 



GREEK RUDIMENTS. 85 

The Article is poetically used for the Kelative : as, icarijp, 
o </ erpeye. 

The Article and the Participle, used for the Kelative and 
Verb, is a common idiom in Greek : as, 6 tpuXdwM) he who 
guards; and should invariably be so translated. 

The Article is often used elliptically without a Substan- 
tive. First, in the Neuter Gender, signifying jwssession or 
relation: as, 6 dzoc, -a zaj> d.vdpmizatv dtoixel j God directs 
the affairs of men. Secondly, in the Masculine, followed 
by a;ic\ or xepi, with a proper name, and signifying attend- 
or the party : as, ol d/xfi Ilptafxov. Thirdly, in a pe- 
culiar mode of construction, before an Accusative and an 
Infinitive : as, to yaipeiv zoTq fjLiprjpaai -d>raq, <ju/i<puro> rolq 
d./0(jw-otq iffr\' } the circumstance, that all should delight in 
imitations, is natural to men. So we have it repeatedly in 
the New Testament : as, iv -<p eho.i auzd» ; ?'. e. h rw ypdvw 
or -odyiLo-i, and may be translated, " while or when he icas." 

THE GENITIVE. 

The matter of which a thing is made, is put in the Geni- 
tive : as, To* di<ppov ixotTjffev (iz) itryopdrs zo?.cuv. Cost or 
value, crime or punishment) difference or eminence, are put 
in the Genitive : as, Sdq abrbv yjp.1v («>rr) 9pa%p7)q' — ypdepo- 
fxai <re (~sp\) xloTtrjs. 

Part of time is expressed by the Genitive : as, (bit) 
dlpouq rz xaX yzi/j.d»<>z. 

E. — The Prepositions, within the parentheses in the 
| ling examples, mean to signify what may be the latent 

nment; this will be so understood in cases of future 
Occurrence. 

Grief and surprise require the Genitive: as, r/j<; pwpias, 
what foil'/! 

Comparatives are followed by a Genitive, when the 

8 



86 GREEK RUDIMENTS. 

G-reek for than is suppressed : as, dvapyiaq psT^ov obx Mart 
xaxdy. 

Verbs expressive of the actions of the senses, except that 
of sight, require a Genitive : as, t<2v papzbpmv dzyxoars. 

Words signifying plenty or want, take the G-enitive : as, 
nXobatoq xaxwv. 

The Latin Ablative Absolute is expressed in Greek by 
the Genitive : as, fyXtop riXXovroq. 

These are phrases of peculiar construction : -csTv (jiipoq) 
vdaroq; to drink some water; analogous to the French 
"boire de I'eau:" paxdpioq (ivexa) rr t q TV/yq; happy in 
fortune: pdpipaq (kx) r.odoq vtv ; having seized him by the 
foot. Note the words presumed to be the latent govern- 
ment. 

THE DATIVE. 

The instrument and manner of an action are put in the 
Dative : as, dpyopiaiq Xoyyatcn pdyoo. 

Verbs signifying to accompany or follow, to blame, con- 
verse with, pray to, and to use, require the Dative : as, rt5 
vfjeq eizovro. — robq rolq dpapzavopivotq ImTipGJvTaq. 

Verbal Adjectives govern the Person in the Dative, and 
the thing in the case proper to the kindred Verb : as, 
vp.lv zaora npoxriov. Thus, in Latin, we meet " eetaie 
utendum est." 

'0 au-dq, the same, requires the Dative : as, rr t q avz^q 
eiffi Zyfitaq aqwi ol ffoyxpb-rovreq rolq i^apaprdvouffi ; those 
who conceal, are deserving of the same punishment as those 
who commit a fault. So in Latin " idem facit occidenti." 
— Hor. 

the accusative. 

The Accusative is of universal use, with xa-d understood 
as, detvdq pdyr^. 

Verbs signifying to do or speak well or ill of, to give or 
take away, to admonish, to clothe, govern an Accusative of 



GREEK RUDIMENTS. 87 

the person, and another of the thing : as, -oUa ayaOa rrj> 
tlo/m tTtoitjffs. For the Accusative of the thing is frequently 
substituted the Adverbs s<5, xaxoiq, xaXaiq. 

Distance and space are put in the Accusative : as, v E<psaoq 
a~iyz'. d~d Zapdiiov rpzaj'; 7)p.epaiv ooov. 

VERBS PASSIVE. 

Verbs of a passive signification are followed by a Geni- 
tive, governed by u-o, d-d, £/., -o.pd, or itpbs : as, 6 voug 
b~o or/uu dta<pOeiperat. 

THE INFINITIVE, 

The Infinitive is used to express the cause or end of an 
action : as, riq a<puik guviyjxe pji.yzaOca. 

When the subject of the Infinitive is the same as that of 
the governing Finite Verb, it is also in the Nominative : as, 
ZcHpoxl^q e<prj auzuq p.kv, o'luuq del, dvOpd)-ouq TtoteiVj Eupiizidyq 
dk, oioi dm) /Sophocles said, that he (Sophocles) made men 
such as they ought to he; Euripides, such as they are. 
This Syntax we find imitated in Virgil : " sensit medios de- 
lapsus in hostes." 

The Infinitive is used after the manner of Latin Gerunds 
and Supines, sometimes with, sometimes without, a Preposi- 
tion : as, xaXXiara Ideiv; pulcherrima visa: iv rip [laOetv * } 
in discendo. This we find imitated in Latin : as, tempus 
c(pi Qui solvere colla, niveus videri } &c. 

Expressions of the form of " moriturus sum" are exhi- 
bited in Greek by p.Olot : as, fUXXm rsQvdvat, Similar to 
this is the French "Je dois mourir." 

The Infinitive is often used in an Imperative sense, some 
inch Verb as 8pa or piparqao being understood : as, pr t abf 
aQavdrotot fid^etrdat. 

The Infinitive appears in a somewhat absolute form in 
these expressions: utq d-'/.wq elitetv \ to vpeak plainly } — an 



88 GREEK RUDIMENTS. 

idiom evidently familiar to our own language : as also, 
wg efaelv, so to speak, — a common English phrase; — dozeTv 
fjiol'f as it appears to me; where, perhaps, xard rd may be 
supplied; — [xtxpoo or oXiyoo oe?v; almost, nearly; literally, 
so as to icant little, wore being understood. Sometimes, 
even the Infinitive del; is omitted. 



THE PARTICIPLE. 

The Participle is often elegantly preceded by the Verbs 
etfxi, ybop.a.1, <pafaopai, u~dpyaj, iyw, y.upto : as, ovx kydpoq 
v-?jpyev wv ; he was not an enemy. 

Tuyydvu), joined with a Participle, may be translated, by 
chance; Xavddvw, privately or ignorantly ; <pddvu), previously ; 
in which phrases the Participle is to be translated as a Yerb : 
thus, ezoyov h rip oizuj wv; I tvas in the house by chance; 
literally, I happened being (or to be) in the house: iXadoptsv 
dia<p£povTe<; ; we unwittingly differed ; literally, we were not 
aware differing, or that we differed. 

ArjXoq, <pavspd<;, dwavijq, &c, are also used Adverbially 
with Participles: as, abzbq touto notiuv <pavepoq yJv' } he mani- 
festly did this. 

The Participle is used, instead of an Infinitive, after 
Verbs signifying to desist, persevere, perceive, shoiv; or ex- 
pressing an affection of the mind: as, rrjv elpyvrjv ayovreq 
diareXooat ; they continue to preserve peace : 0sdv ou Xyj^co 
TtpooTdrrp eyiov, I shall not cease to have God for my de- 
fender: p.ifj.vrjffo avdpco-oq wv; remember that you are a man. 

ADVERBS 

Are followed by the Genitive, Dative, or Accusative, 
either because they are originally Nouns, or because those 
cases are governed by a Preposition understood.

Adverbs of time are sometimes changed into Adjectives :

cusative.

PROSODY. 



A syllable in which a short or doubtful Yowel precedes 
two Consonants or a double letter, is long : as, y.Xdy/yj. If 
in different words, it is sometimes short : as, fxoTpa xparaivj; 
nrepdevTa 7upOG7]v3a 7 &c. 

A short syllable is often made long before a digammated 
Vowel: o? of, for Fol\ — jiiXavoq ol'voto, for Foivoio. 

When three short syllables come together, it is necessary, 
for the sake of the metre in Heroic Measure, that one should 
be made long : as, aOdvaroq, aOiaroq, IIpva[Mdrjq. 

ONE VOWEL BEFORE ANOTHER. 

A Vowel before another does not suffer elision, as in 
Latin, at the end of a word, unless an apostrophe is sub- 
stituted. 

A long Vowel or Diphthong is generally shortened at 
the end of a word (and even sometimes at the beginning), 
before a Vowel : as, oI'/m &. 



CONTRACTION. 

A contracted syllable is always long : as, o<pi&z 9 ocplq. 

Two successive Vowels, naturally forming two Syllables, 
frequently coalesce in poetry : as, xpuaia), pronounced as if 
Xpvaw. 

COMPOUNDS AND DERIVATIVES. 

Compounds and Derivatives follow the law of their sim- 
ples : as, rt/jt^, azi/jLoq ; e<pvyov, <fvyrj.

Anacreon), y.oaq, d'dp, Owpaq, fipa~, xdpdag, via's, pdq, 

I is short : as, epcq, eptdoq. Except words of two termi- 
-nations : as, dsX<ph or 8eA<p\q, Tvoq ; and Monosyllables : as, 
0iq, OZvoq; but J':c, dtdq \ On\z, rptybq \ or if, im^j riq, 
Wvdq, are short. Except from the general rule, Nouns 
making iQoq : as, 8pviq } SpvZOoq; and those making tdoq, if 
the penult of the Nominative be long : as, xvyplq, xvqpuSoq. 
So also Nouns in if, tyoq, or txoq '■ as, pdartq', -Zyoq; <pobi$ y 
\xoq\ and Monosyllables in t<p y moq: as, OXl^, -Zicoq. 

T is short : as, ~vp, itvp6q. Except words of two termi- 
nations : as, tpopxovy and y6pxuq } -vvoq : as, also, xjjpuk'y 
•vxoq. rpb</.' } -unoq; yb^ 1 , -vizoq'y ftippuq", -uxoq, are common. 

PENULTIMA OF THE TENSES OF VERBS. 

The quantity of all Tenses generally remain the same as 
in the Tense from which they are formed : as, from xptvta 
are formed expovov } xplvopm, ixpZv6p.rjvj from xpL'/d) are formed 
t£xpZxa y xixptfiaCy £xpi!07)v. 

The Perfect follows the quantity of the First Future: as, 
>, xrtffto f exTixa'y tpuat, cvna), -(cv/.a. 

If the penult of the First Future be long by position, 
and not by nature, that of the Perfect is short : as, ypdipio, 

The Perfect Middle follows the quantity of the St 
Aoristi as, erv7cov y rirvita. Except Pif3pZ0a } sfifiya, xixpdya, 

xixpZya } fj.zrj.v/.a ) -(~pdya } Ttl<ppZxa % riTfnya, &0, 



96 GREEK RUDIMENTS.

bles : as, xixXvdt ; but long in Dissyllables : as, xXodt.

Aq, iq, and uq final, are short. But aq is long in the 
Nominatives of Participles: as, rutpaq) and in all cases of 
the First Declension: as, rafitaq, tp'Maq, (louaaq) it is long

ACCENTS. 

The Acute (') is used on the last syllable, the penultima, 
or the antepenultima. 

The Grave Q is used on the last syllable only ; but when 
that syllable is the last of a sentence, or followed by an en- 
clitic, the Acute is used. 

The Circumflex (~) is used on the last or the penultima. 

The Acute and the Grave are put either on long or short 
syllables ; the Circumflex on syllables long by nature, and 
never on the penultima, unless the last syllable is short. 
No word has more than one Accent, unless an Enclitic 
follows. 

Enclitics throw their accent on the preceding word, when 
the antepenult is acuted, or the penult circumflexed : as, 
avOpwKoq ivrt ', fftbpd kart. 

Ten words are without Accents, called Atonies: 6, yj, ol, 
at, el, elq, Iv, ££ (or ix), ou, (obx or ov%,) wq. 

RULES OF ACCENTS. 

Monosyllables, if not contracted, are acuted: as, 6$, nobs, 
yelp. 

Monosyllables of the Third Declension accent the last 
syllable of the Genitives and Datives, but the penultima of 
other cases : as, S. yelp, yetpd<;, X et P\ yelpa. D. yeTpe, 
yetpoTv. P. yet peg, yeipwv, ye pel, ye~ipaq. 

Dissyllables, if the first be long, and the last short, cir- 
cumflex the former ; as, povaa ; in other cases, they acute 
the former : as, pobdrjq, Xoyoq, Xoyoo. 

Polysyllables, if the last syllable be short, acute the 
antepenultima: as, ilvOpwxoc;', if long, the penultima: as, 
d^Opcbzuu.

The Genitive Plural of the First Declension circum- 
flexes the last syllable : as, fiouamv. Except Adjectives of 
the First Declension, whose Masculine is of the second; 
as, ayioq, dyiaiv, dyia, dyicov ; with kzrjffiwv, ykobvwv, and*

those in zepoq : as, ypgzepoq. 

The Imperatives, iXde, she, eupe, iSe, and Xafik, are ac- 
cented on the last, to be distinguished from the Second 
Aorist Indicative. 

The Prepositions, placed after their case, throw back 
their Accent : as, Oeoo &tzo. Except dvd and did, to distin- 
guish them from ava, the Vocative of ava.%: and from Ala, 
the Accusative of Zsbq or Aiq. Oxytons, undeclined, lose 
their Accents when the final Vowel suffers Elision: as, 
«//' ays, -ap ipou. Those that are declined, throw an 
Acute on the penult : as, itSXX 3 £-}, detV enadov. 

Contractions are circumflexed, if the former of the

ok, after Accusatives of motion : as, oixo^dt. 

Enclitics lose their Accent in the beginning of a clause, 
and when they are emphutical, or followed by another 
Enclitic. 

Enclitic Monosyllables lose their Accent after a word 
acuted on the penultima : as, Xoyoq fiou j but Dissyllables 
retain it : as, h'ryoz larl ; else the Accent would be on the 
pra)antepenultima. So ou> nv6q. 

The Pronouns preserve their Accent after Prepositions, 
and after hzr.a or 9} : as, oca ai. 'E(rz\ accents its first syl- 
lable, if it begins a sentence, is emphatical, or follows d//.', 
el, xal, odx t d>s, or tout*', as, oux Mart. 

Difference in Accentuation serves to mark difference in 
signification, and has on some occasions given precision to 
the language, and even determined the ambiguous mean- 
ing of ;i law. Of this distinction a few instances may be 
given : — 

Sjfanfj leading. dyc&v, a contest.

THE POETS 

Have several peculiarities of Inflection. 

They use all Dialects; but not indiscriminately, as will be 
seen in the perusal of the best models in each species of 
Poetry. In general, they adopt the most ancient forms, as 
remote from the common Dialect. 

They lengthen short Syllables, by doubling the Conso- 
nants : as, icaz-ai for latxai ; by changing a short Vowel 
into a Diphthong : as, eh for h' } fiouvoq for fidvoq) elhjXuuO- 
fiev for iXyjXOOafiev j or by v final : as, iarh cpilw. 

They add Syllables ; as, pw? for <pu>s ) 6pdav for 6pav ; 
ffaojffi/xevat for adxniv. 

They drop short Vowels in Pronunciation, to diminish 
the number of Syllables : as, d/xdw for oa/xdeu • fyevro for 
tyivero. 

They drop Syllables : as, alepi for XXytrov ; y.pT for 
np(ptvoVj kbta for Xmapov) duva for duvaaaty adio for lad- 

IOGZ, &c. 

In Nouns, they form the Genitive and Dative in <pi : as,

£/"?; wiSf< for y<w5<r«. So odrd^j for o.>">r/u-.

or; in the Dual, into oi'iv : as, Xoyoiiv for Xoyotv. 

In the Third Declension they form the Dative Plural by 
adding t or at to the Nominative Plural : as, -xaiq, xaTdeq, 
Ttaldeai, or izaideaffi. 

They form several Verbs of a peculiar termination, in do,

d^da, ex7jTC } y/J-oq, piacpa^ vipQe, o%a } xe } p r dj &c. 



DIGAMMA. 



The old Dialects of Greece admitted few or no Aspirates. 
The Digauima was calculated to prevent the hiatus which 
the concurrence of Vowels would produce. Aspirates were 
afterwards introduced into all the Dialects, except the 
iEolic, which adhered to the Digamma ; hence, it has pre- 
served the name of the iEolic. It has also, with great pro- 
priety, been called the Homeric Digamma : that great poet 
adopted the original forms of the iEolic and Ionic Dialects, 
which threw a majestic air of antiquity on his poetry, 
ancient form Homer dignifies by the appellation of the 
language of the Gods. Virgil, and among the modern.-?, 
Tasso and Milton, successfully imitated that practice, by 
the introduction of antiquated expressions, which removed 
their language from the common idiom, and cast a venerable 
gloom of .solemnity on their style. To that principle may, 
in a great measure, be attributed the use of the Dig 
by Homer. 

The use of the Digamma having been i abolished 

by the introduction of Aspirates, the tran f the works 

of Jl' tark it; and ■<■.' he vestiges 

of it> lions. 

The harm* of tin; Poei lias led him e >duloi

gamma made him inharmonious and d< E

in some degree this difficulty, his Commentators interposed 
the final v, or the Particles, f, d% r ; but these could be 
only partially adopted, and were far from exhibiting the 
Poet in all the charms of his original style. Numberless 
passages remained in their naked deformity, and exercised 
the conjectural sagacity of Grammarians and Commentators. 
Thus, in the Yerse in the opening of the Iliad, c Hpd>ajv 
au-obq de iXwpca rsd%e xovecaiv — aware of the inharmonious 
effect of the concurrence of the two e, they cut off the for- 
mer. The quantity of the latter created another difficulty. 
Some doubled the X, and others asserted that e was length- 
ened before the liquid : but there were passages to which 
even these and similar expedients were inapplicable. A 
successful effort was made by the great Bentley to remove 
these embarrassments. The restoration of the Digamma 
has at length vindicated the Poet, and displayed the har- 
monious beauties of his original versification. To give the 
learner some clue to guide him through these intricacies, an 
alphabetical table is added of the words in Homer, which, 
either constantly or generally admit the Digamma in the 
initial Vowel.

KERNE Y'S ARITHMETICS. 

The Columbian Arithmetic, designed for the use of Academies and 
Schools. By M. J. Kerney, A.M. 20th improved edition, 1862 38 

The aim has been, in the compilation and arrangement of this work, to make it a book of 
practical instruction; one in which the science of figures is thoroughly explained and 
clearly elucidated. The examples for practice are generally such as the pupil will meet in 
the various business transactions of life. The arrangement is progressive, all questions 
being solved by rules previously explained. This new edition has been carefully re- 
vised and enlarged. Several useful tables on the subject of Interest have been intro- 
duced, ami numerous miscellaneous examples added. These improvements will render the 
work still more dessrving of the extensive patronage it has heretofore enjoyed. 

Key to Kerney's Columbian Arithmetic, containing the solution of 

the principal questions. 3d revised edition, 1862 31 

Introduction to the Columbian Arithmetic, designed for the use of 
Academies and Schools. By M. J. Kerney, A. M. 25th Revised Edition 13 

This little work is designed as an introduction to the former, and is intended for children about 
to commence the study of Arithmetic. The first principles of the science are familiarly explained 
in the form of question and answer, and the pupils are conducted in the study as far as the end of 
compound numbers. It is replete with practical examples, adapted to the capacity of that class of 
learners for which it is designed, and it also contains all the Tables. 

Mr. Kerney's Arithmetics have already acquired a wide-spread popularity, as attested by 
the sale of large editions in a few years. They are books of practical instruction, 
arranged by a practical teacher of many years experience. The present editions have been 
carefully revised, and neither pains nor expense will be spared to render them at all 
times worthy the high reputation already acquired. 

The publishers are fully aware of the prejudices existing among many teachers in favor of old 
works on Arithmetic; hence the great difficulty of introducing new ones, however meritorious; 
from such they earnestly solicit a careful examination of these works— and respectfully refer them 
to the following testimonials of their merits from practical teachers. 

Alexandria, Va., November 18th, 1849. 

An examination of the " Columbian Arithmetic," by M. J. Kerney, has convinced us of its sterling 
utility, and we shall accordingly make arrangements for its immediate introduction into our school, 
(numbering, at present, eighty pupils.) We believe it to be second to none extant, and would, 
therefore, recommend it to all teachers of Academies, &c. L. WHITTLESEY & SON. 

I have examined the " Columbian Arithmetic," and "Introduction" to it, by M. J. Kerney, and 
consider them excellent books ; they are judiciously arranged, and practical in their application. 
The rules are plain, sufficiently concise, and re ell adapted to the comprehension of rouug persons. 
The explanation of the theory of Proportion is simple, perspicuous, and accurate. We intend to in- 
troduce those books into our school. JOHN SLATTERY, Principal Washington Seminary. 

Number of pupils about 300. 

I have examined with much care the " Columbian Arithmetic," by M. J. Kerney. It appears to 
rae to be a work of considerable merit, and is better calculated for schools of the United States, and 
for counting-houses, than any other book on the subject that I have yet seen. The general ar- 
rangement is systematic, and according to the affinities of difterent rules. Under the impression 
that it is an improvement upon every other work of the kind now before the public, I will immedi- 
ately adopt it in my school, numbering at present about niaetv pupils. 

Washington, Nov. 13, 1849. S. B. RITTENHOUSE, Principal Washington Institute. 

As an evidence of the high opinion I entertain of the " Columbian Arithmetic." I have superseded 
the use of Dauies-, by its immediate introduction. F. KNIGHTON, Alexandria Institute. 

The " Introduction to the Columbian Arithmetic" is so admirablv adapted to its purpose, that 
we have introduced it in the place of others in this seminary. Number of pupils, over one hundred. 

McLeods Seminary, Washington. J. O. WILSON, L. H. CHURCHILL, Associate Principals. 

I have examined the Arithmetics by M. J. Keruey, and unhesitatingly give them the preference 
over all the various works of the kind which I have met with. Mrs. J. McLEOD, Select School.

KERNEY'S MURRAY'S GRAMMAR. 

An Abridgment of Murray's Grammar and Exercises, designed foi 

the use of Academies and Schools ; with an Appendix, containing Rules for Writing 
With Perspicuity and Accuracy : also a Treatise on Epistolary Composition. By M. J. 

Kekney, A. M. 34th edition, enlarged and improved 18mo, hf. bd. 13 

This Grammar is used in the Public Schools of Baltimore ; in the Schools of the Christian 
Brothers; and in many of the principal Schools and Academics throughout the country. 

In point of arrangement, this work is superior to any other Abridgment of Murray's Grammw 
that has yet appeared before the public. Itcouibines the Grammar and Exercise, by adapting Exer- 
cises to every chapter and section throughout the work, so that the pupil may have, at every stag» 
of his progress, a practical illustration of the portion under his immediate study. The present 
edition has been carefully revised by the author, and many valuable improvements made in th» 
work. A Treatise on Epistolary Composition has been added, containing directions for writing 
Letters. Notes, Cards, &c, with a variety of examples of the same. 

EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 

"Mr. Kerney's Abridgment of it is just what it professes to be, and not a new superstructure upon 
an old foundation. Those who think Murray's the best of all grammars, therefore, will not hesitate 
much to think this the best of all abridgments." National Intelligencer. 

"This abbreviation of the large and unwieldy volume of the Patriarch of Grammarians has been 
effected without the omission of any important matter, and is presented to the public in a neat and 
convenient form. It must find favor in schools." Baltimore Patriot. 

" We most cheerfully recommend this Grammar to schools.' St. Louis News-Letter. 

"This is an excellent abridgment of Murray, long a favorite in schools. Fred. Examiner. 

" On a cursory examination, it appears to be well adapted to the purposes for which it was designed, 
and worthy to be extensively introduced into schools and academies." Baltimore Clipper. 

" We are very much pleased with this abridgment, and think the improvements Mr. Keruey has 
made admirably calculated to accelerate the progress of the learner, and to lessen the labor of thu 
teacher. We feel great pleasure in commending the work to the favorable notice and patronage of 
teachers of youth." Odd Fellows' Mirror. 

" This popular little work seems to contend for the palm of usefulness with Mr. Chandler's grammar, 
which we noticed a few months ago. The Presentation Brothers, who conduct St. Paul's School in 
this city, and who are good practical judges, as well as excellent teachers, prefer this abridgment, 
especially for the junior classes." Pittsburg Catholic. 

" This little work appears to be exceedingly -well suited to the use of the scholarwho is about enter- 
ing upon the study of the English language. It will, no doubt, prove an aid to the tutor, and, by 
its simplicity and explanatory style, be of great advantage to the pupil." Baltimore American. 

" The general arrangement of Murray's Grammar is admitted to be the best extant. Mr. Kerney 
has presented all that is truly valuable in any abridgment of Murray's that we have seen, and hat 
made several valuable suggestions to instructors. The book cannot fail to meet with success among 
intelligent teachers." Methodist Protestant. 

" We take particular pleasure in recommending this abridgment to the public. The notes and ob- 
servations taken from the original are copious and well selected. Iu point of arrangement, it is su- 
perior to any other abridgment of Murray's Grammar. P.esides embracing in a narrow compass all 
that is important or essential iu the original grammar and exercise, this abridgment contains in it* 
appendix several additional matters which will be found highly interesting and useful to the 
learner ; such as the Art of Reasoning, Oratory, Elliptical Phrases, Popular Latin Phrases, -nith a 
literal English Translation." U. S. Catholic Magazine.

In presenting a tiewedition of Murray's Grammar, which is universally considered the best extant, 
we deem it sufficient to state, that the "present edition is printed from an entirely new set of plates, 
and that it has been carefully revised, and free from many of the inaccuracies and blemishes which 
are to be found iu other editions, printed from old stereotype plates. This, together witli the verj 
low price affixed to it. are the only claims urged in favor of this edition.

SESTINI'S ALGEBRA. 

Elementary Algebra. By B. Sestini, S. J., author of Analytical 
Geometry, Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy in Georgetown 

College 12mo 6* 

The main object of this treatise is to render the science of Algebra intelligible to pupils whoa* 
minds are yet unaccustomed to such studies. The beginner will here be furnished with such proof* 
as are suited to his capacity; examples will afford new light to what might be otherwise obscure 
with regard to the operations founded on higher principles, he will, for the present, content himself 
with merely practical rules, exemplified in the same manner. With a mind thus gradually led on t» 
Strict mathematical discussion, he may then resume his course with profit, by the aid of a treatise 
now in preparation, which is intended as a sequel to this, and, by more exact and thorough investi- 
gation, complete his study of Algebra. 

BRIEF EXTRACTS PROM NOTICES OP THE PRESS. 

" This work recommends itself to favor by the admirable order of its parts, and the conciseness and 
clearness with which its principles are expounded. One needs but open the book to perceive that 
the author has brought to the execution of his task a ripeued judgment and well-tried experience. 
He is not a compiler— his work has the rare merit of originality, and every studeut of Algebra will 
thank him for having giveu in a few p: usually occupied a large volume, and for hav- 

ing rendered intelligible what has often proved au enigma to many." Metropolitan. 

" This book might very properly be called " Algebra without a master." One very important im- 
provement thi I and which deserves to be mentioned, is 

this, that he keeps m»nomiab • net, and explains and applies to them separately 

the various rules as laid down in his Algebra. The work only wants to be known, in order to he 
universally approved." Western Tablet. 

"We feelmucb pleasure in recommending it as containing nearly all necessary to be known on 
the subject of which it treats. It is emi I for the use of young persons who wish to ac- 

quire a knowledge of the dirScu!' Halifax Catholic. 

" To persons commencing the study of Algebra, we cheerfully recommend Mr. Sestini's work, as 
one well calculated to smooth the difficulties which beginners have to overcome in their first attempt* 
to master that science."' Pittsburg fjatholic. 

" As a rud'mental book it will be found eminently useful in schools and colleges." Det. Vindicator. 

" The author is well known as a man of great ability, and his work cannot fail to be of good ser- 
Tice in schools." Buffalo Sentinel.
